Writer. Author. Storyteller.

A man with short brown hair wearing a light beige jacket and blue checkered shirt, standing outdoors with buildings and a tree in the background.

A lifelong writer, Bryan Pirolli debuted his first novel, Selling Sophie, in 2026. Deeply rooted in place, the novel reflects this Philadelphia-native’s life moving around the world, from Paris to London, from Naples to Beijing. His career spans travel journalism and destination marketing with frequent forays into higher education. Today he writes from Portugal.

Book cover titled 'Selling Sophie' by Bryan Pirolli with decorative blue and white icons of a vote sign, a bottle, flowers, a fleur-de-lis, a fish, and a crown.
